The Lexington Course at Revere Golf Club in Henderson offers a wild ride of its own

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Revere Golf Club and its two championship courses, Lexington and Concord, named after the towns on Paul Revere's famous ride, may seem out of place in the rugged desert canyons and valleys of the Vegas foothills. But after playing them, golfers will see why they are named after a legend.

Revere's Lexington Course is the more challenging of the two, but both share the stunning views that stretch from the Black Mountains all the way to the Las Vegas Strip. The two trademark waterfalls provide stunning scenery right on the Lexington.

This diverse course requires not only the use of all of your clubs but also your concentration, so don't let the panoramic views distract too much.

The layout is challenging but fair, offering hardly any bad lies and a variety of risk-reward scenarios. The most challenging hole is the par-4 third hole, which features fairway and greenside bunkers as well as an expansive desert area to the left that is just waiting to swallow any errant shots.
